has anyone actually used one of these? I am intrigued by these gadgets and I often like to give them a go, especially at £20. We have hard flooring throughout our kitchen, diner and hallway and we have a dog and a two year old.............

Had one, used it once and had enough. Just moved dust around the floor and gets stuck under furniture constantly

19th Oct 2016

Agree, get stuck, ok if you have a completely clear floor, unlikely. Plus dont forget you need the replacement cleaning discs (paper-ish discs). B&Q cleared these out a couple of years ago about £15, pads 50p. Use mine in the kitchen occasionally as it has few places it can get trapped. My advice, do not buy. Its a dust collector allright

Had one and took it back, terrible piece of kit

19th Oct 2016

I had something similar, was ok but not great, plus a degree of faff about it. Also put up with a steam mop for nearly a year. Again, much faffing.Then my mum, who is not the sort of person who normally keeps up with the latest technology advances showed me two new gadgets: a mop and a broom. Amazing! Totally changed everything. So fast - sweeping everything big or tiny in seconds - and mopping the floor takes no time. No more faffing, charging, emptying, swapping, waiting. Now I want the floor swept or cleaned it just grab, go, done. These are available everywhere now, I see.

how much are the disposable pads, cant they be washed?

19th Oct 2016

is this strong enough to hold a cat?preferably one in a costume?

19th Oct 2016

having owned something similar at a similar price, i can almost guarantee this will be crap. the one I had didnt picl up all the dirt and you had to dtamd watching it to make sure it didn't get stuck. dont waste your money.

No kid, these are just a duster, not a robotic vacuum cleaner. Those are still pricey

19th Oct 2016

We tried a vacuum liked this and sent it back. It couldn't cope with a reasonable size of carpet pile. As these only dust they may be OK but I would think the old ways of a mop, brush and duster would be quicker and better - and not such a waste of money.

I dont know current price, but single use paper disk, could turn it over I suppose, but it really is just a duster, not a cleaner.

Nice! Will go have a look for this today. Well worth a punt at £20

No it isnt.

About £7 for 20. They are effectively round wipes.

This'll work great in my feng shui open plan wood floored loft apartment. oh wait, I live in a small messy terrace house.

19th Oct 2016

I have one of these. Works ok with pet hair on laminate flooring. Pretty useless for anything else. It's been unused now for about 12 months.

Novelty at best

21st Oct 2016

Do these fit under the sink okay with the sandwich toaster, panini press, teriyaki grill and nutri bomb?

23rd Oct 2016

Get a flat floor mop, moisten the cloth, run around the edges of the room.30 seconds tops once a week

all the dust collects at the edges, no real need to do the whole room unless you have kids or drool a lot
